Fandom: The Man from UNCLE (TV)

Summary:

“FASHION BY STORM”
Henry Pettersen
December 18th, 1971, Women’s Wear Daily
On the eve of the holiday season many eager shoppers line the halls of department stores all across America, searching for last minute bargains. I, however, am still searching for the truth behind Vanya’s, the successful and shockingly recent break into affordable fashion for the masses.
What I am finding, dear readers, is an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a heavenly winter coat with a fur collar.

(Or, a post-series AU. The world tries to unravel Vanya’s mystery, Illya tries to stay afloat and unravel a mystery of his own, and Rita Hogarty tries to do her job.)

I think this is my first time posting to this comm? Feels a bit of a narcassistic start. Oh well!
This fic was written for a prompt by

laurose8 for the Down the Chimney Affair challenge. The whole time I was writing it, I fought with it. It wasn't serious or deep or full of meaning, and that frustrated me. I kept writing sentences that were clever (at least that was the idea...) and light and snarky, and nothing like Lipstick and Vodka which had become my sort-of fic writing yardstick. Now, though, I'm so glad I didn't try to bludgeon it into being something it wasn't. It's one of my favorite fics. :)

Prompt:
For laurose8, who wished for an AU where Marion Raven, not Illya, was the UNCLE agent.

Summary:

“He’s some diplomat’s kid, that’s what I heard. Has a heart condition. Should be a cakewalk - just sit on him until the summit is over, alright? And try not to screw it up.”

He’s roughly her height, roughly her coloring, all skinny limbs and rebellious floppy hair. If Marion were a smidge less vain she might call him roughly as handsome as herself as well. As it stands, she contents herself with admitting that his photograph does him very little justice, and the live thing is indeed quite a picture.

"Marion Raven," she introduces herself. "UNCLE, New York."

(Marion Raven, UNCLE agent, is tasked with protecting one Illya Kuryakin. Nothing is as it seems, however, and with the help of a real estate agent named Napoleon Solo, things shift irreversibly away from normal. )
